When listening to the Dead live it must be before '78. Sorry but after that the group was a wreck. Jerry gave some heart rendering performances afterward but the Dead have a shelf life live. Three prime eras (tours) '70-'71 pigpen, purple sage etc. '72-74 and '76-'77 reborn Jerry.
@@immortalserito774A wreck? I love those other eras as well, but the Brent era was totally awesome in my book. He was a great fit to their sound, and just kills it on the keys.
Grateful Dead 8-6-74 Eyes of the World: Roosevelt Stadium or 3-29-90 Eyes Of The World: Nassau Coliseum, two different eras, two awesome versions. You should do a back to back of these two shows!
I went to this show - was about 20' from the stage center - just another night of fun - note: Polo - ever see a rock band smile so much at one another - it's due to the energy WE in the crowd gave to them and they in turn - returned the intensity via the music they created "with us" - we know a little something, you may never know :)
One comment could be "if he was 'tapped out' after *one* song," he should know that GD concerts lasted twenty or so songs and 2 1/2 hours, plus. And we all, all us dedicated Deadheads, loved *every* second. It brings tears to my eyes that people appreciate their music, even over thirty years after Jerry passed. The music of the Grateful Dead is timeless, like, among many others, the music of Charlie Parker and Wolfgang Mozart (both of whom died too early in their lives, before they could have composed much, much more). One thing I recall from the concerts I attended in the late '80s and early '90s was that a large percentage of the audience was people in their late teens or early twenties, many of whom *hadn't even been born* when the group started. The Grateful Dead are timeless, as I've said.
You had to be in great shape to see all three shows of a run, at 3+ hours per show! I loved it. And dancing will keep the blood flowing. More live Dead please? ✌️❤️🎶
I love seeing Dead reactions, Ya have to remember the live shows had people dancing so they don't mind it being long, and when you jam, "The Music Plays the Band"...
This looks like the 1989 summer tour. The Dead Closed out Veterans Stadium in Phili before it was torn down. I was front and center for half the show. It was so hot that they sprayed the crowd with water and I was dyed a nice burgundy color from a fresh, new tie dye shirt. 😀
I really dig first reaction videos from all types of people on all types of music but you grabbed and hooked me with your review on Franklin'sTower and again on Bird Song so I could tell the way you pretty much went almost breakless through this one and the expressions on your face you just became a certifiable Dead Head my friend there ain't no turning back as David Gilmour of Pink Floyd would say " There's no way out of here, when you come in, your in for good!!!" Welcome to the family!!!❤
Grateful Dead 6-30-85: Shakedown Street, Merriweather here on RUclips. Yes, 1985!!! Few would even consider '85 and for good reason, but this has been voted best on headyversion and I have to agree after listening to every version. Still plenty of other great ones and each has their own taste, but give this one a listen and try not to like it.
They were capable and very often did turn any song into a long jam and their fans loved it. Even when they ventured into a long jam the band was so tight you could never tell it was improv!
Hey Polo, don't be a lightweight, you'll miss out. And all the effort that went into just getting to the show would not be worth it. With the Grateful Dead, the singing was always great, but it was all the jamming in between that really made the songs stand out in concert. Saw a "Shakedown Street" at my first show, 9/6/80, Lewiston, Maine, it opened the second set, and went on for about 14 minutes. I loved every second of it, and all the "Shakedown's" I saw over the next 15 years. Eventually the vending area sub-economy that followed The Dead around became known as "Shakedown Street", and you could get ANYTHING that you wanted or needed. Going to a Grateful Dead concert was more fun than humans should be allowed to have.
@@lakehurstconsulting Yep, the crowd was on the "grassy" infield, and the bands were up against the grandstand, facing out. My friends and i drove up from Keene State College, in southwestern New Hampshire. After the show we camped out on Old Orchard Beach. Awesome time.
What a first show! It was my old man's 7th show. Monster Sugaree, one of the top versions imo. He passed on years ago but I'm so grateful I grew up with the music. Band beyond description.
@@williammarriner5908a buddy & I did nearly all the further shows both of us being tour kidds in the jerry dead days, and we were really relaxed about it...sometimes not even going into shows we had tix too They were all/mostly amphitheater shows & we could hear anyway The '98 Darien lake show, we were having more fun catching up with old crew outside, but verrry slowly making our way in We didn't hit the gate, 'til prolly ½ way into the show, but right when we did, we start hearing dark star ...it was just too perfect, since that was really the only fresh tune for us in that stretch (iirc) We were frikkin' ecstatic
Well Polo you’re a great guy accommodating all those dead fans. This is one the few dead songs I like, funny thing it has a disco beat so u can dance to it. Oh I noticed the band wore their Sunday best for this concert.
Why did everyone vote for this version? I don’t get it.. Scarlett>Fire 5/8/77 was in the lead early on, and it’s a smokin 🔥 of a performance with an excellent soundboard recording.
Cummon--- Im 61 yrs old and I can still dance for 3 hours! Not all GD songs are long, buy many are. Just like fine jazz improv, some things take time to happen. Some like it, some dont.... and some just plain need it.
Best band ever... coming from a Deadhead. You have to check out earlier stuff . Please check out . Bird song ,, and Dark Star from the DVD great footage. Called Sunshine Daydream from Veneta Oregon 8/27/72
Ahh the sweet sounds of the ultimate jam band. Don't be concerned about versions. You're young. If all goes well you'll have years to listen to them all! There's a single website alone that boasts 14,566 Grateful Dead bootlegs. 🙂
Ok... remember when youz' was a kid? You'd stick your toes in the pool to test the water? It's time. Winterland '77 first Terrapin Station after (and I swear) Swing Auditorium in February. Not pushing you in the fiery cauldron, or the deep end... that Dark Star!
If your just getting into them, I’d highly recommend sticking to anything from 1969-79’. 79-84 is pretty good too. After 84’ they have their moments, but not quite as strong. This version was just ok…. Love is real, not fade away.
yes, all great!..well 73-77 were the Godchaux years...I mean, people always shade yoko, probably because they never heard donna jean come screeching out of fkn nowhere on the tail of a long middle8 😐 bless her, but it's a stonefact she never pulled that shit on a jerry tune, you won't find it in 5yrs of live shows~ bobby was a supra-tolerant human.
I'd argue the 89 spring/fall stuff is some of their best. short period before brent died that jerry was actually really healthy. some of that late 80s stuff is my absolute favorite
I gotta tell you, they play with the vibe that they get from the crowd. Their shows frequently ran to 3 hours,so they paced the performance. Taking songs from individual shows, especially from someone that doesn't know the band isn't the best way to go. This was a pro shot and sound package that showed the band off well, but I'll admit I could have gone without the last 3 minutes, too. I'm going to make a patreon request for something from the studio side, I just have to decide between Jerry and Bobby. Any input?
that's like saying your the best looking of my ugly kids...I love the Dead but their studio work is not the best representation of what makes them amazing.
@@davenunyabusiness4893Eh, kinda agree on this particular song and performance. Live is (almost) always better, but for a noob to the Dead and not being there live...different story. Late 80's Jerry and Brent were not the best quality version of the Dead. Jerry looks high as fuck.
My friend, there is a sound /volume problem with your video. I thought it was on my end, but the moment I went to another channel, I had to quickly turn down my volume, because I had it up so high to hear anything from your video. Your sound is barely audible. Love the channel Friend
If you were in that crowd you would not have tapped, everybody there was in varying degrees of being high and absolutely in tune with the band. EVERY Dead concert had the most concentrated amount of LSD anywhere on the planet at one time, guaranteed!
Please fix your audio. This is the song that got hooked on the dead, hearing in a campus bar in college (drinking age 18 back then) and bought my first Dead album the next day.
Please consider checking out Tommy Bolin. “Post Toastee”, “Wild Dogs”, “Dreamer”… He was also in James Gang, Deep Purple, and was featured on Billy Cobham’s Spectrum album
Yeah, you’re too early into the Dead journey to deep dive into some live deep cuts lol. If you’re not into jam music, it can be… different. Check out some studio tracks like “Casey Jones”, “Estimated Prophet”, “Scarlet Begonias” maybe a good live cut of “Bertha”, stuff like that. They invented jam bands, so watching them live is gonna be a lot longer and a lot more improvising as they go (no two live performances or shows are the same). I would add, “Scarlett Fire” from 5.8.77 is their best live work imo, but I’d listen to “Scarlet Begonias” and “Fire on the Mountain” studio versions first
Subjectivity notwithstanding, there are much better versions. I think you’d dig some of them a lot. Check out “Eyes of the world” with guest Branford Marsalis. He loved playing with them he said, because they ‘listen’ to each other.
4:19 and I can already tell this isn't your favorite track 🤣🤣 Not to worry, I'm sure you'll give an honest reaction and that's why I'm here. Keep rocking my man 🤘
I’ve often said this song is a perfect example of what it feels like to be around someone who is high out of their mind when you’re completely sober. 🙄
Much as I love my grateful dead,, and I am very grateful I was there. Please listen to the studio version of this song. I absolutely prefer their studio versions. Unless I am attending the show that is..hahaha RIP Jerry! Polo , Give Truckin, *the studio version,* a listen, it, along with Touch of Grey, are a couple of their radio hits. (And you're leg won't fall asleep) Every song is my heart and soul forever they will forever be miracle! 🙏🌏✌️ SoundCHIC
Was hoping for the Chicago 91 or Essen 81 version, which smokes, oh well, not a Patreon member so can’t complain. The 87 pro shot footage beats this one as well. This one’s meh, alright, but not what I would have picked for your first Shakedown. Come to think of it, you’d like the 91 version with Branford Marsalis sitting in. I even like the fake Vince bass slap sound on the outro refrain on that one. It’s from MSG, NY City. To many great versions of this song on RUclips.
Disco era Dead when it was first recorded. Still the Dead. The story is always a little dark, and the music always has a whiff of Louisiana swamp to it.
Just my opinion and nothing more. If you like your music to be cookie-cutter generic that fits into a nice little three- four minute window, then do as some suggest here and listen to studio versions. If you like your music to be spontaneous that can lead to tremendous highs then stick to live Dead always.
Well you gotta keep dancing their shows would go like 3.5 hours. Sometimes had an opener band too so your talking well over 5 hours of bobbing around and groovin!
Not the best live version of this song. Looks like '89 or '90. Jerry messed up a bunch of lyrics and it's about as sloppy as the Dead get. There's tighter more funky versions in the late 70's early 80's.

I literally cannot stop myself from dancing when hear the Dead. It’s 100% an automatic response in my body. 💃🏼💃🏼
Careful.. it’s contagious! 😎👍
They never play it the same twice so everyone has their favorite concert versions. ❤
Jam bands are the best live for that reason. The Dead, Phish, DMB...
Always start with the studio version then
Exactly you had to be at a dead show to the full experience
It also helped if the crazies puddled your beer with an insane amount of lsd so that bad was melting your face
Amen to that. Saw them 4 times.....my daughter was a festive follower for many years....best out door concerts/ festivals! Amazing legends.

Oh yes, Giants Stadium, this show rocked as hard as it appears. Lots of Woodstock tabs floating around the lot. INSANE show!
Sugaree May '77 from Atlanta will make you forget all about this. Let's go to church!
If you ever had the pleasure of seeing the Dead live, then you'd be a fan for life. The loving atmosphere and 4 hours of music to groove to.
Oh yea, Bobby, and his shorts. Oooweee!
You know you want to get up and dance, Polo!!!!!🎉
Just gotta poke around...🎶✌💜

Beautiful People / If the 60's Were the 90's lp, they sample Jim's music
THE Dead was always prevalent.

Brent's eyeballs were all pupils. Peggy O 1987 Era is a good one.
